keep your eye on what the leadership, ben bernanke, janet yellin and bill dudley think. i don't think any of those guys are ready to take their foot off the accelerator yet. the key thing to remember is if a year from now the fed is realistically thinking of stopping the quantitative easing, it will be because the economy is doing what they want it to do. the economy will be growing 2.5%, to 3%, unemployment down to 6.5%, a really good scenario for the stock market, and they will not be worrying about the fed pulling back because the economy will be doing what they want it to do. >> greg, if there's any concern that markets should have, as you reiterate today, it's maybe more on the fiscal policy side of things and what's coming out of washington, not from ben bernanke but cap hill, and i was surprised to read your take comparing policy today is the equivalent of beirut in 1982. >> kelly, i don't mean that in a bad way. except for the bombs going off it's felt a bit like civil war on the fiscal front in washington for the last two months, two years actually, and the mark

the term fiscal cliff was coined by ben bernanke. ben bernanke did not want us or did not want the country to get into the situation of higher taxes -- in large part, i think that would have made his job even harder because the higher taxes would have flowed -- slowed down the economy and there would have been even more pressure on the fed to engage in monetary easing, quantitative easing as it is called. the fed really cannot do all of that much more than it is doing. interest rates are at historic lows. bernanke did not want tax increases, so he was trying to control or affect what was going to be happening on the fiscal side. it was really more of a ramped than a cliff in the sense that the sequester cuts -- we will talk format that i'm sure -- but the automatic cuts that were put in place with the debt ceiling deal of the summer actually would come into play well into the year and some near the end of the year. there was or there is quite a bit of time on that. the tax rate increases, i think very few people actually felt there w
